When I saw Siri shortcuts at WWDC, I was stoked. Finally, a way to build custom intents and workflows for Siri.

Surly this will make Siri far more useful in the future. As I’ve been using my iPad running iOS 12 beta, I definitely think shortcuts accomplish this, but not without one drawback. When I was using an Amazon Echo, my biggest complaint was that each third party “skill” has a specific voice command associated with it, and any deviation from that syntax would cause Alexa to not recognize what I was asking for (Haven’t used one in about a year, so this may have changed). I always found this frustrating in comparison to Siri, which can make sense of natural language. Siri can hear “get me directions to.” or “take me to.” or “how do I get to.” and either way it knows you want help with navigation. Apple made a big deal of this capability when Siri first launched. But with Shortcuts, Siri behaves more like Alexa in that even though the trigger phrases are customized by the user (which is a one-up on the echo), Siri still requires the exact phrase every time.

Offline address book office for mac 2016. In the demo at WWDC, they showed a shortcut with a custom phrase called “travel plans” that the user could use to have Siri read / show their travel plans in KAYAK. Typically, Siri would be able to understand anything along the lines of “what are my travel plans” or “show me my travel plans” etc.

But with Shortcuts, Siri will only recognize the original phrase: “travel plans”. Remembering one or two custom phrases isn’t a big deal.

But if this is the way Apple is going to open Siri up to third party apps, requiring users to remember dozens of specific trigger phrases (custom or not) is, I think, a step backwards for Siri.
